good morning, america. breaking now, collision course. those two, big storms sets to collide today and create an extreme blizzard for the northeast. 50 million in the path. up to three feet in some places. thousands of flights already canceled. panic shopping setting in. sam and ginger lead our coverage of the blizzard of 2013. also breaking, that massive manhunt growing across three states for the heavily-armed excop on the run. accused of killing three and huberting for more. his car found near a ski resort. this morning, his ex-girlfriend speaks out in an exclusive interview. the secret code for the house of george w. bush compromise. personal photos stoling from the

entire family. and brand-new home movies of little ethan, the brave 5-year-old who survived that harrowing week-long hostage standoff in alabama. his brother recalling the incredible call to the family when ethan was saved. and good morning, everyone. you see that snow on the screen right there. but guess what, only 12 days until robin returns. you see that chip on the screen. we cannot wait to welcome her back. it's great to have amy robach here. we have two major breaking stories this morning. >> we're going to get to the brand-new details just coming up. that rogue excop. police say he could be anywhere right now. but it's the weather everyone's watching here in the northeast. >> no question about that. look at ginger zee, she's in boston, in front of a mountain of salt. they're getting ready. two to three feet of snow

expected there. we're going to check in with her in a minute. sam, first, give us all the latest on this storm. >> we might as well pull out the "b" word, blizzard, for this one. it's the worst that it can deliver. anywhere from newark to new york city, all the way through hartford and connecticut, to boston, massachusetts, up to portland, maine. this entire area is going to get the driving, blinding snow, the snow that shuts down cities. this is kind of a big hit for this area. it really comes together with two storms. one storm that's delivered a hit of snow. north of the chicagoland area, about ten inches of snow. you didn't have to get too far to get that snow there. and in central detroit. not detroit, but central michigan. they picked up about ten inches of snow. as that system drives up to the north, they get together and phase right about 2:00, 3:00 in

the morning, that system will pull itself together to become one, big snowmaker off the coast of new york and connecticut and massachusetts and boston, to make that big, big storm happen. who gets what? if you're south of the center of the storm you get rain. right along the coastal areas, where you see the flashing red, we have a hurricane-force wind warning out there. the coastal areas that were devastated by sandy, you get a real impact from the water. you'll get big impact from the snowfall totals. 24 inches of snow is the biggest total we can find. that's in boston. boston has never had more than 27.5 inches at snow at one time. our ginger zee is on that mountain of salt, getting ready for that storm. ginger, good morning. >> good morning, sam. this time tomorrow, i anticipate standing close to three to five-foot drifts of snow here in boston. but for now, i'm standing, yes, on top of a lot of salt. this is 100,000 tons of it.

you see 50-foot cliffs. it is just one of the things that's going to help boston and all of new england prepare for this major winter storm. this is the reason why many schools are closed today in new england. an overturned school bus on a snowy road in michigan. fortunately, only two students suffered minor injuries. it's all part of that storm will be become the nor'easter. after superstorm sandy, no one is taking this storm lightly. >> accumulation is expected to be swift, heavy and dangerous. >> reporter: more than 2,500 flights have been canceled. logan airport and amtrak between new york and boston is shutting down this afternoon. >> stay off the treats of our city. >> basically, stay home. >> reporter: the run on gas. >> there's several gas stations up the road out of gas. >> reporter: and supplies ahead of the storm is so intense, the fire department was called into this salem, massachusetts, supermarket. >> well, i might as well

double-stock. we don't have to go out. we can hunker down. >> there's been a constant stream, let me show you, of all of the trucks getting prepared for the big storm. boston, getting another 60 tons to this company alone. and they'll be ready when it hits. sam? >> best to be ready. here comes bernie rayno, and my pal. no one knows this stuff better than anyone. is this going to happen? is it not going to happen? what's the factor that we wake up with no snow? >> well, i don't think there's any way out of this storm now, sam. you had mentioned the two storms. one in the midwest and one in the southeast. but just as parent was an injection of arctic air that came across northern new england yesterday. and that's why it was so cold in new york city. so, now, you have the arctic air. now, you have two storms. all the ingredients are there, sam. maybe new york city doesn't get

a foot of snow. but i they southern new england in this red area, batten down the hatches. it's coming down. >> historic storm? are we going to be talking about this, even though the totals aren't 30 inches of snow? >> i think it's going to be historic because when you combine the heavy snow we're going to see. and at the height of the storm tonight, sam, around new york city, providence, hartford, all in this red area, we're going to see snowfall rates, visibility, below a quarter-mile. there's probably going to be whiteouts because of the wind blowing between 40 miles per hour and 60 miles per hour. that's what makes it historic it. >> that's going to be bad in this area. amy, we're on the system all morning long so people won't be surprised. thank you, bernie. now, to the new details in the frantic manhunt for the former lapd officer on the rampage for police officers and their families. the suspect's vehicle was

recovered. but there's no sign of him. authorities say christopher dorner is on the loose, highly-trained and extremely dangerous. abc's david wright is in big bear, california, with the very latest. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, amy. as you can see, we are a climate away from sunny southern california. and these weather conditions haven't exactly helped the search effort. still, about 100 police officers have been out all night long, going door-to-door here. but so far, the search has gone cold. this morning, the manhunt has moved to this mountain. armed officers swarming a popular ski resort, after christopher dorner's truck was found here wednesday. a smoldering wreck. but no body inside. authorities say they found tracks leading away from the car. but no suspect. they have searched through the night. more than 400 homes, one-by-one. >> they have aerial searches, ground searches, and door-to-door searches going on. >> reporter: investigators say

the 33-year-old former cop is seeking revenge. a motive spelled out in a manifesto posted online. a rant against a police department he says blamed him for exposing abuse. i will utilize every bit of small arms training, demolition and survival training i've been given. you have misjudged a sleeping giant. >> of course, he knows what he's doing. we trained him. he was a member of the armed forces. it is extremely worrisome and scary. >> reporter: late thursday, cnn's anderson cooper says he found a package dorner sent him february 1st, with a coin that had been shot through. >> i never lied, apparently in reference to his dismissal from the lapd in 2008. >> reporter: inside, dorner says more evidence he was railroaded by police in 2006. fired, he says, by a police department protecting its own. the chief at the time was bill bratton. >> i really have no recollection of his particular case. he would have been fired by me.

in that i was chief of police at that time. >> reporter: police say dorner has now led them on a wild goose chase through three states and mexico. and they still have no idea where to find him. >> we ask that anyone who sees him, should not approach or attempt to contact him. but immediately call 911. >> reporter: authorities say this may be the biggest manhunt in southern california history. police hunting a man that they fear is hunting them. george? >> david, thanks. let's get more on the man behind this mayhem. christopher dorner posted a manifesto online as the killings began. 11,000 words. and investigators are combing for clues right now. our senior justice correspondent, pierre thomas, is in los angeles with the latest on that. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. authorities say christopher dorner is their worst nightmare. a one-time police officer with military training gone bad. in short, lethal. dorner, a former navy reservist, is an expert marksman.

authorities are especially worried because he claims to have explosives and a .50 caliber rifle, capable of slicing through armored car from a long distance. >> in this case, you have a trained officer, a trained member of the military, that's taking that experience and terrorizing this entire region. >> reporter: by all accounts until recently, the 33-year-old led a normal life. >> always smiling. very positive. very upbeat. the kind of person you would want as a friend. >> reporter: dorner appears to have joined the military and later the police out of a sense of honor. in many photographs, he's seen in uniform with a warm smile. but police say behind it is a burning hatred for the lapd, which he calls corrupt and rayist. his battle began in 2006, after he became a cop, when he witnessed a female officer using excessive force.

sources believe he recently snapped after exhausting all avenues to get his good name back. >> he wanted to be part of something that he believed in. he said, you're always on duty when you're a cop. >> reporter: arianna williams is his former girlfriend. she now fears for her life. >> i have my phone on 911 when i open the door to my apartment. this will probably end badly for him. i don't see a peaceful resolve or ending in this because he's created so many heinous acts at this point. >> reporter: dorner says he plans to use every bit of his training to kill police, which he calls high-value targets. he says he's prepared to die. and, george, my sources say, believe him. >> pierre, thanks very much. former fbi special agent, brad garrett, joins us from washington. we learned so much over the last 24 hours. the car is in the ravine. there are tracks there. but this is like finding a needle in a haystack at this

point. >> it is, george. hopefully they got tracking dogs out there immediately and maybe have a direction of flight. the key is, what is dorner going to do? did he have any plan to go to big bear? is there a place that he has been in the past? the key, as far as i'm concerned, is getting the word out in big bear to all of the stores, rental car places, any place he could conceivably go to get food or possibly rent a vehicle or, obviously, steal a vehicle. so, that's going to be the real key. he seems to be together, as far as moving around. so, is he using credit cards? i don't know. that's another way to track, possibly. now, we're into almost 24 hours later. he actually could be, at this point, anywhere. >> and we just heard from his former girlfriend, that she believes this is going to end with violence. and we also have seen that manifesto. what clues do you take from that? >> well, he even says, george, in the manifesto, unfortunately, he will not be here for his name

to be cleared. and that's what this is all about, george. this is all about him saying, look, i'm a good guy, i've done the right thing. you all, you all being virtually everyone who has touched his life, have harmed me and you harmed my name. and so, until he believes that he is sort of cleansed that, this is going to go on. unless you surprise him, this will end violently. >> okay. brad garrett, thanks very much. let's get to josh, now, with more on the morning stories. the hacking of the bush family is something. >> a serious breach, george. exposed personal information and communication with the bush family, including former president george w. bush and his father. even the security code to the former president's house has been compromised. abc's senior white house correspondent, jonathan karl, now, joins us to explain who did this and how. good morning to you, jon. >> reporter: good morning, josh. this is quite a story. the secret service tells abc news it is now investigating the apparent hack of e-mail accounts of both former presidents.

this done by somebody going by an alias gucci fur. getting three years of personal bush e-mails back to 2009. and has posted several personal photographs, including one of the elder bush in the hospital. abc news is not going to air any of the hacked material, which also includes addresses of family members. josh, as you mentioned, even the security code for george w. bush's home in dallas. the story was first reported by the website smoking gun. this morning, a bush family spokesman confirms the breach, telling us, quote, there's a criminal investigation going on. there's not much else to say. you can imagine, this has certainly caught the attention of authorities. >> jonathan karl in washington. thank you for that. the obama administration's controversial drone program targeting american suspects could soon be regulated by a new court if some senators get their way. that possibility has been raised following testimony by john

brennan, the president's nominee to head the cia. brennan defended the strikes, saying they're launched only as a last resort against suspects planning attacks against the united states. we learned the u.s. was closer to intervening in syria's civil war than previously thought. outgoing secretary leon panetta has said that he and former secretary of state, hillary clinton, wanted to arm the rebels trying to topple dictator bashar al assad. but the white house said no, fearing the weapons could fall into the wrong hands. in florida, a close call for a bartender there. a suv through a front window. quick reaction. jumping over the bar. maybe just saved his life. neither he nor the driver was seriously hurt. finally, a guy that's literally living on the edge. look at this skateboarder. it's a viral video, thanks to a wild and high-speed ride downhill. well, the skateboarder in question, big trouble this morning. police are now looking, in fact,

to arrest him because speed cameras set up on that street in south africa, caught him at 68 miles per hour. >> get out. >> please, don't try that at home. >> yeah. all right. >> 68 miles per hour. they're coming for him. >> thanks, josh. now, to an abc news exclusive this morning. we have the first new video of 5-year-old ethan since that little boy was rescued after spending nearly a week held hostage in that underground bunker in alabama. s.w.a.t. teams got ethan out just in time to celebrate his birthday. and abc's david muir is just back from alabama with the first images of ethan. >> reporter: good morning. this birthday party was held at a church with little ethan, his mother and older brother. pops, grandad, also there. the s.w.a.t. teams, the fbi, the negotiators hugging him at the party. ethan's family tells me he's not spoken of the bunker or the man who held him captive. but you see right here this morning, his giant smile is

back. >> buddy, why don't you play with your cars. >> okay. >> reporter: this morning, an abc news exclusive, the first home movies of little ethan. and images from his sixth birdie party. the party his town had been praying for. just days before he turned 6, ethan was snatched from the front seat of that school bus, dragged to an underground bunker by jimmy lee dykes. >> the child appears physically unharmed and is being treated at a local hospital. the subject is deceased. >> reporter: in his first interview, ethan's brother telling me about the text messages the family would get from the hostage negotiators. the messages that would keep the family going. >> we didn't know when, at times, he was asleep. and that was around 9:00 at night. >> reporter: they would at least be able to tell you he's gone to bed for the night? >> yes. we'd normally get a text or something that he had fallen asleep. >> reporter: was that at least

some comfort? >> that was a lot of comfort, where i could go lay my head down. >> reporter: ethan's older brother never left their mother's side. you were there when you got the call? >> we were all there when they told us. >> reporter: what did say they? >> they said, we have ethan. >> reporter: and the fbi's special agent, whose call it was to enter the bunker, says the suspect left behind writings. and in the bunker, he became agitated, bragging about his plan. >> at the end of the day, the responsibility was mine. i thought the child was going to die. >> reporter: chilling words from that special agent with the fbi. he told me they were convinced time was running out. tonight on "20/20," what it was they saw and heard that that bunker that signaled dykes was about to harm ethan. what we never knew. the fbi revealing to me, the gunman's only friend in that town, the sole friend that reached out to him, the bus driver he targeted that afternoon. let's get the rest of the weather from sam. hey, sam.

>> good morning. i want to show you the big, wet -- look on the jacket there. the big, wet snowflakes that are falling right here in times square. that's a little earlier than planned. the crowd's out. let's look at the radar. we'll show you what's going on this morning. as the southern system as all of the rain, moves into the cold air and gets the infusion of the powerful jetstream. look at the wind profile that comes with this system, as well. just a quick look and you'll see the coastal winds will be 40, 50, 60 miles per hour. 70-mile-per-hour hurricane-force wind gusts just offshore.

in gusts. steady winds at 40 miles per hour or 50 miles per hour. that's well past blizzard criteria of steady snow and 30-mile-per-hour winds for at least three hours. we think we have five or six hours of steady wind and snow. and those totals will be a foot and maybe more in a lot of locations. that's the way it looks right now. george? amy? we're going to turn to the trial that begins today in montana, where a star college athlete is accused of sexually assaulting a young woman he met at a party. but this dramatic case may be one part of a disturbing pattern at the university of montana that's shaking up the ncaa. and dan abrams with the story. >> reporter: it's a case that's divided a community. part of a larger debate, an investigation into whether a major university and a local police department and prosecutors have done enough to respond to dozens of claims of sexual assault. >> johnson, keeping it. running. johnson, touchdown. >> reporter: jordan johnson was the star quarterback for the

university of montana grizzlies. >> it's going to be a great experience playing in front of 100,000-plus people. >> reporter: but this morning, he's the defendant at the center of a sexual assault case that's rocked the mountain community of missoula. he's accused of the sexual assault of a female classmate and has pleaded not guilty. with the trial beginning today, some facts are not in dispute. johnson and the alleged victim agree, they flirted at a party in 2012. she was interested. he texted her. he picked her up in his car, brought them back to her house and they started kissing. what happened next is fiercely contested. he said they had consensual sex. but johnson's accuser texted a friend saying, i think i just have gotten raped. i said no. but he wouldn't listen. in a different text, she wrote, i don't think he did anything wrong. a month and a half after the

encounter, she formally reported it to authorities. >> he was the star. he was the face of the team. regardless of the status, people want to know what happened. >> reporter: around the same time, the u.s. department of justice announced a probe into a staggering 80 reports of sexual assaults in missoula over a 4-year period. >> the purpose of our investigation is to determine whether the university and the law enforcement agencies acted promptly, adequately and fairly to protect the safety of women. already the u.s. department of women has joined the d.o.j. investigation. and the ncaa has launched the probe of its own. but the university of montana's athletic program -- >> johnson gets taken down at the 2. >> reporter: has taken a major hit. if the jury selected this morning decides to convict, johnson faces up to 100 years behind bars. it could also be as little as two to four years.

and in a case like this, george, where it's a real he said/she said, the medical testimony becomes crucial. >> a community like this, the star quarterback, it's got to be difficult to get a jury. >> everyone is covering the case in the community. they had to bring in additional jurors. 400 prospective jurors. they have to do jury selection at the local holiday inn. >> my gosh. >> thank you. now, to the heist drama inspired by ben affleck's "the town." a pair of thieves robbing a bank in a pair of gun masks. the judge trying on the masks himselves before making a ruling. alex perez has the story about the heist inspired by the movie. >> reporter: it has all of the makings of a hollywood blockbuster. a bank heist with a guy in a mask. what you're seeing is no movie. the fear in the eyes of these tellers is all-too real, as they're forced at gun point to help a girlfriend/boyfriend ban

did team empty a safe. look familiar? federal prosecutors say they were inspired by the flick "the town." and convinced her boyfriend, lyndon wesley, to rob this bank with her back in 2011, just like in the movie. wesley, who took a deal and testified against edwards, admitted to opening up a safe deposit box and casing the bank before. edwards, who is an aspiring model, and wesley, almost got away with $120,000. the unusual heist had fbi agents investigating costume stores around chicago, including this shop. >> people will see something in a movie and tend to try to imitate it with real life. didn't exactly surprise me. >> reporter: but imitating the movie didn't work. edwards' defense argued the robber was white. the judge in the case had one of the rasks and tested that argument. the judge found edwards guilty. prosecutors say edwards robbed the bank to pay back money she

had embezzled from another bank where she worked. but this morning, this fake nun is no longer on the run. now faces up to 25 years behind bars. for "good morning america," alex perez, abc news, chicago. >> that's gripping video there. >> it is. let's get back to sam with the weather. >> george, it is looking a little wet and snowy outside. that's the early of what's to come. this goes throughout the night on friday into saturday. we told you at the top of the show. let's show you pictures out of philadelphia. this is what it looks like in philly. on the rainy side of the storm. a little low clouds. here's snowfall totals. no reason to change them at this time. we're looking at less snow in southern areas because they're a little warmer. they'll have more rain involved in this system and farther away from the low when it becomes the big storm. it does not do that until later on tonight. you really have time early this morning in most locations to get yourself together for what will be an overnight big snowmaker
